Gaza Buttons

I embark on a project selling Gaza buttons with my students. My husband and a mother of one of my students finance the whole projects. May Allah bless all of them. Yeah, 100% of the profit is given to Gaza. That's just a part of the mission of the project. There are other objectives though. 

First, it's a good way to train my students to sacrifice their time, money and efforts for the cause of Allah. Like I said to my students, we can't talk about going jihad in a war zone if we can't jihad in small scale like this. They collect orders (there are many orders!), put the buttons inside plastic bags, and deliver them using motorbikes or simply walking from house to house. Once they got the payment they will use the money to rolls back into the next phase of ordering, packaging and delivering. 

Second, we are campaigning the students to wear the buttons always as a sign of solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Gaza. If they can't wear the buttons on their school uniforms then they can wear in on their pencil cases. I will discuss about this matter with my school administrators when school reopens in January. I think it will be cool if they can wear it on their shirts and dresses when they go shopping at  AEON, the nearest shopping complex in our area. It's a silent campaign for Gaza. I'm wearing my buttons on my handbag at both sides. You can't fail noticing it. I'm hoping that I can persuade as many teachers as I can to do the same. Well, I'm not really concern with numbers. As I said to my students how many will follow is not our job, it's Allah's job. Allah will choose whom he likes. Our job is to make the campaign works as far as possible.

Lastly, we need to have a project to practice our faith. As an analogy, after learning how to cook a dish, we need to cook the dish. Theory is not enough. We need to make the theory works. 

To all my students, I love all of you because of Allah. May Allah bless all of you.

May Allah bless us all.
